    How Many Licks Does it Take To Get To The Tootsie Roll Center of a Tootsie Pop?

    How the hell do I know?! I /do/ know how many prises I get from a tin of lös using a 3ml IceTool though :^D

    Ettan - 31
    Grov(a bit dry) - 23
    Grov(with added moisture) - 27
    Gotland Gul - 28
    Gotland Grå - Haven't finished yet, but looks like 31 or so
    Granit - ?? Can't remember. I think it was about 35, but I lost the tin. My cats were pissing me off, and I threw the tin at them, and lost it :^D It got the most of all the brands, regardless of actual number.

    This is a good bit less than I thought I got. My methodology wasn't precise. I wanted to replicate my actual usage on a day to day basis. The size varied from exactly 2 clicks, to ~2mm above 2 clicks; sometimes with snus clumped on the end, and protruding beyond the IceTool body. Most times it was a fat 2 clicks. The dry Grov was clumpier, and tended to have more protruding bits, and I think that's why it got the least.

    I'm going to start being more careful with my measurements in the future. Exactly 2 clicks is the same as a fat 2 clicks, but you use less snus. I /may/ keep records again for exactly 2 clicks, but I don't know. Doing this felt like homework, instead of just enjoying the snus. I am curious as to what the difference is though.

    For what it's worth, my cheap digital scale weighs one click of los at around 900mg.

      You know, my wife just came in and looked over my shoulder and told me that I need to "get a life". Hmmm.......... Thank's for the info though.

        don't you really mean fat chicks?
        Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to hide the bodies of the people I killed because they were annoying......





        I've been wrong lots of times.  Lots of times I've thought I was wrong only to find out that I was right in the beginning.

            Cool, I'd be interested in hearing what you get. I started with Ettan, and was surprised by the result, so I tried it with the others. I was expecting 40g-42g(from a 45g tin), so I was pretty far off. I'll probably end up doing it again with exactly 2 clicks, even though it's a PITA. It'll bug me until I know for sure.

              I know I'm overdoing it but 4 clicks with a 3 mm icetool has become rather comfortable. Not every prilla but a few times a day works very nicely for me.

                I am going to do one handbaking as well. I know a tin lasts longer when I handbake. I will keep track on the notepad on my phone. I will see it at all times so I wont forget.

                    It was an empty :^D I had the tally marks on the bottom of the tin though, so I need it to see how much I used. A full tin would hurt anyway. I wanted their attention, not give them a concussion :^D

                        I found my Granit tin! I got 37 uses out of that. Striking difference from the other brands. I suspect a lot of that is moisture content. That was the moistest of all the ones I tried.

                          If and when I get them I will send you a can of the Extreme los. I am real interested in the economy of 1 click Prillas!

                              So forgot my icetool on the first day of the test so I handbaked the whole tin. I have had some longer than normal days and I have one pinch left. The only other snus I used during this can was one portion of Jak's WG .

                              I have one and a half prillas left in the tin and that is usual for me. It lasted almost four days and my final count is 46.5 prillas out of a can of Phantom blue. That is an average of 11.5 prises a day and I am up for 16-18 hours a day.

                              Pretty good....

                              Now I will use more when I use an Icetool because when I bake I make the pris longer and slimmer. With the icetool 2 clicks is more comfortable for me and I use less prillas per day. It works out to the same amount of snus per day because a can of los every 4 days is my average.

                              Now I will need to try this with a can of Thunder los next. I make micro-prillas with that snus....
